46. Sebastian Janikowski, Oakland Raiders

5 of 50

Selection: No. 17 overall, 2000

Sebastian Janikowski has spent the past 13 years in Oakland, but don't confuse longevity with greatness. He has been selected to just one Pro Bowl and currently ranks 25th among active kickers in career field-goal percentage.

What makes this pick especially painful for Raiders fans is the fact that two spots later, the Seahawks selected Shaun Alexander.

During the first five years of Janikowski's career, Raiders running backs Napoleon Kaufman, Tyrone Wheatley, Charlie Garner and Amos Zereoue would combine for just one 1,000-yard season.

Notable players passed over: Shaun Alexander, Keith Bulluck

45. Tim Tebow, Denver Broncos

6 of 50

Selection: No. 25 overall, 2010

Yes, Tim Tebow led the Broncos to the playoffs and a shocking upset of the Steelers. It will always be a great memory for Broncos fans, but if not for the signing of Peyton Manning, this pick could have set the franchise back for years.

Not only has Tebow failed to pan out as a quarterback, but the Broncos traded their second-, third- and fourth-round picks to the Ravens to acquire the 25th selection.

Notable players passed over: Devin McCourty, Rob Gronkowski

44. Tim Couch, Cleveland Browns

7 of 50

Selection: No. 1 overall, 1999

Tim Couch may be one of the most hated players in Browns history.

He was so disliked by his own fanbase that the crowd once erupted in cheers when he went down with an injury, allowing Kelly Holcomb to enter the game.

Like Tebow, Couch did lead the Browns to one playoff appearance in 2002, which keeps him from rising higher on this last.

37. Rashaun Woods, San Francisco 49ers

14 of 50

Selection: No. 31 overall, 2004

After a record-setting career at Oklahoma State, the 49ers brought Woods aboard to help jump-start their struggling offense. However, Woods struggled to earn playing time, catching just seven passes in 14 games as a rookie.

After missing the entire 2005 season with a thumb injury, the 49ers gave up on Woods, shipping him to San Diego.

Woods was cut by San Diego and later failed a physical with the Broncos, ending his NFL career.

36. Trezelle Jenkins, Kansas City Chiefs

15 of 50

Selection: No. 31 overall, 1995

Jenkins put together a solid career at Michigan and was supposed to immediately solve the Chiefs' issues at left tackle. However, three years and a grand total of one start later, Jenkins was out of the league.

In 2000, Jenkins was drafted by San Francisco Demons of the XFL but failed to make the team, which may be even more embarrassing than his NFL career.

30. Todd Blackledge

Searching for their first franchise quarterback since Len Dawson retired, the Chiefs took Todd Blackledge in the first round of the legendary 1983 draft.

Blackledge would prove to be a solid backup, going 13-11 in his career in Kansas City, but he was never a full-time stater for the Chiefs.

To make matters worse, Hall of Famers Jim Kelly and Dan Marino were selected later in the first round.

Notable players passed over: Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, Bruce Matthews

29. Jamal Reynolds, Green Bay Packers

22 of 50

Selection: No. 10 overall, 2001

After a standout career at Florida State, Jamal Reynolds looked like a future star and was expected to flourish for the Packers, who had acquired the 10th selection from Seattle in the Matt Hasselbeck trade.

However, in three years with the Packers, Reynolds recorded three sacks and didn't start a single game.

He was traded to the Colts prior to the 2004 season, but the trade was voided when Reynolds failed a physical. He was later released by the Packers and spent the 2004 training camp in Cleveland before being released again, ending his NFL career.

26. Aundray Bruce, Atlanta Falcons

Aundray Bruce, a two-time All American at Auburn, put together an 11-year career, but he never came close to living up to his status as the No. 1 pick.

In four years with the Falcons, Bruce recorded just 16 sacks and was used mostly as a reserve during his final two seasons.

Notable players passed over: Neil Smith, Tim Brown, Sterling Sharpe

25. Bruce Pickens, Atlanta Falcons

26 of 50

Selection: No. 3 overall, 1991

The Falcons have made some disappointing picks through the years, but it doesn't get any worse than Bruce Pickens.

Pickens rode the bench for the majority of his rookie year and started just four games the following season. Midway through the 1993 season, the Falcons finally gave up, trading him to the Packers.

After missing the 1994 season, Pickens would briefly return to the league with Oakland in 1995.

Notable players passed over: Todd Lyght, Eric Swann, Herman Moore

24. Kelly Stouffer, St. Louis Cardinals

27 of 50

Selection. No. 6 overall, 1987

The St. Louis Cardinals made Kelly Stouffer the sixth overall selection in the 1987 draft, but when the two sides were unable to agree on a contract, Stouffer elected to sit out his entire rookie season.

The following offseason, the Cardinals traded his rights to Seattle where Stouffer played for four seasons, making just 16 starts.

Notable players passed over: Jerome Brown, Rod Woodson, Jim Harbaugh

23. Tony Mandarich, Green Bay Packers

28 of 50

Selection. No. 2 overall, 1989

Tony Mandarich is often used as a poster child for draft busts. But in reality, he carved out a reasonably successful six-year career and made 63 starts for the Packers and Colts.

But when you factor in the players selected around Mandarich, it's enough to make Packers fans sick over 20 years later.

17. Keith McCants, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

34 of 50

Selection: No. 4 overall, 1990

After a legendary career as a linebacker at Alabama, Keith McCants was viewed as a can't-miss prospect in the NFL. But the Buccaneers insisted on converting the linebacker to defensive end, against the wishes of McCants.

The position change didn't work out, as McCants managed just 12 sacks in three years in Tampa.

McCants played briefly with the Oilers and Cardinals but was out of football by 1995.

Notable players passed over: Junior Seau, Richmond Webb, Emmitt Smith

16. Andre Ware, Detroit Lions

35 of 50

Selection: No. 7 overall, 1990

Andre Ware posted eye-popping numbers in college at Houston, but his success in the spread offense in college didn't translate to the NFL.

In four years in Detroit, Ware started just six games and was often third on the depth chart behind Rodney Peete and Erik Kramer.

Ware was briefly on the roster of the Raiders and Jaguars during the 1994 and 1995 seasons, but he played his final NFL game at the age of 25 in 1993.

Notable players passed over: Richmond Webb, Emmitt Smith, Eric Green

15. Jim Druckenmiller, San Francisco 49ers

36 of 50

Selection: No. 26 overall, 1997

The 49ers selected Jim Druckenmiller to be groomed as Steve Young's replacement. Two years later, Young was still the 49ers starter and Druckenmiller was traded to the Dolphins, having already played in his last NFL game.

Druckenmiller made just one career start, in which he completed just 36 percent of his passes and threw three interceptions.

Notable players passed over: Trevor Pryce, Tiki Barber, Corey Dillon

14. Lawrence Phillips, St. Louis Rams

37 of 50

Selection: No. 6 overall, 1996

Off-field issues stemming from an assault of his ex-girlfriend while at Nebraska caused a few teams to pass on Lawrence Phillips. But the Rams rolled the dice and were so confident in his ability that they traded Jerome Bettis to the Steelers after making the selection.

Just over one year later, the Rams had already grown tired of Phillips' run-ins with the law and released him during the 1997 season.

Phillips played briefly with the Dolphins and 49ers, but he was out of football after the 1999 season.

After multiple arrests for assault, Phillips is currently in prison and will not be eligible for parole until 2034.

7. Tom Cousineau, Buffalo Bills

If you're going to draft a player No. 1 overall, you better be sure he's willing to play for you.

Tom Cousineau elected to play in the CFL, where Montreal was offering him nearly twice as much money as the Bills.

Three years later, when Cousineau elected to return to the NFL, the Bills traded him to the Browns for a first-round selection.

It all worked out for the Bills in the end, though. The pick they received from Cleveland was used to select Jim Kelly.

Notable players passed over: Dan Hampton, Phil Simms, Kellen Winslow

6. Bo Jackson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

45 of 50

Selection: No. 1 overall, 1986

The Tom Cousineau situation was bad for the Bills, but after three years they eventually recouped some value for their blown No. 1 overall pick.

The Bucs, however, wasted their No. 1 pick on Jackson, who wanted to play baseball instead. And after the team failed to sign him, Jackson was made available once again in the 1987 draft, where the Raiders selected him in the seventh round.

While Jackson proved to be worthy of the selection, the wasted pick devastated the Bucs, who would go another 11 years before their next winning season.

5. Reggie Rogers, Detroit Lions

46 of 50

Selection: No. 7 overall, 1987

Of all the Lions draft blunders, this one takes the cake.

Defensive end Reggie Rogers spent just two seasons in Detroit, recording one sack. Then in 1988, Rogers was convicted of vehicular homicide after killing three teenagers while driving under the influence.

After spending nearly two years in prison, ending his Lions career, Rogers returned briefly with the Bills and Buccaneers but was out of football by 1992.
